ATC (Air Traffic Control) systems

Air Traffic Control (ATC) systems coordinate the safe and efficient movement of aircraft within controlled airspace and on runways. They use radar, radio communication, and advanced technology to monitor aircraft positions, provide instructions for takeoff, landing, and navigation, and prevent collisions. Controllers work in dedicated facilities called control towers, approach control centers, and en-route centers, managing aircraft at different flight stages. These systems ensure that aircraft maintain safe separation distances, follow designated routes, and respond effectively to emergencies, thereby ensuring safety and smooth flow of air traffic globally.
